BRAIN DAMAGE. The real-life adventures of an Irish music aficionado and librarian in Santa Monica. **Edited to add**: as stated in the comment, Brian is emphatically NOT an aficionado of Irish music. Rather, he is a music aficionado, and he personally is Irish born and bred. Likewise, he is not an actual librarian but in fact a library employee. Whatever the facts of the matter may be, the man writes an entertaining blog.

AVIGIRL. Puttin' the MBA smackdown on Bay Area nonprofits since 2005.

Miranda July. Movie-maker extraordinaire.

Emmanuelle.net. No relation whatsoever to the porn movie of the same name. She's French. She lives in California. She posts links to odd stories such as French socialists who protest tax subsidies for Formula 1 racing by riding donkeys halfway across France: "The group is being led by Francois Schneider and his donkey Jujube. He has already mounted several donkey-centred-protests to support socialist causes." Where else would you hear about such things?

The Tinbasher Blog. If you like sheet metal, this is the place for you.

Glorfindel of Gondolin. U of Michigan law student blog with inexplicably Tolkienish name.

Fool in the Forest. Pasadena's most poetic attorney.
